AASHE is the American Association of Sustainability in Higher Education. "The online Resource Center is a comprehensive source of information on sustainability in higher education. It provides administrators, faculty, operations staff, students, and other campus stakeholders with the tools, information and guidance they need to lead the sustainability transformation."

The Campus Sustainability Assessment project (CSAP) was founded in 1999 to address the limited availability of high-quality resources for supporting colleges and universities in evaluating their social and environmental performance. Through extensive surveys of the literature and the campus sustainability assessment (CSA) corpus, and through correspondence with leaders in the field, the CSAP identified "gaps" among available resources. Using this information, the CSAP research team has created materials to help close these "gaps."
